Stiff At First

Bottom of
an air squat

Every window of the car was frosted too thick to see through this morning and it was cold in the gym as well. I kept my hoodie on for all of cardio on the elliptical. Of course, I was warm and sweaty by the time 35 minutes had elapsed and I needed my hoodie on the mat when doing Child's Pose in the Aerobics Room. My abs are a tad sore. My arms are a tad stiff but nothing like my lower back and legs before I got the blood moving. I guess I'm sore from yesterday's workout?

Push-ups and air squats are easy but I'm not in the mood to play around with extending my plank time or trying yet another variation. The free weight area is a bit more crowded and there are a few new faces like the well-built man on the bench adjacent to mine. He looks around before each set and I'm surprised that B hasn't wandered up to chat him up. I knock out my tricep routine, do a few minutes on the steps and then it's time to go...
